I haven’t blogged here for quite some time before July 2018. Running a company and having a young family preclude spending much time on anything but. However, as TrueAccord scales I find that writing makes more sense for a few reasons.

Writing helps me organize my thoughts. As I noted in the 50% rule I spend more time thinking about strategy, organizational design, and other topics outside of firefighting. Writing helps solidify my thinking and communicate it effectively.

Writing and podcasting are also better distributed than keeping my thoughts to myself or just sharing with my team. Better distribution of ideas increases the chances of finding like-minded people. If some of them choose to take part in TrueAccord’s journey, we all gain.

Finally, the supply of content for growth stage companies, which is the stage I’m currently interested in, is limited to VCs and semi-retired operators. I think we’re missing the perspective of people who are immersed in the day to day of it.

So, short blog posts written whenever I have time, discussing a top of mind topic, hopefully edited for brevity and clarity. Thanks for reading.
